DAUBER PAD non LIQUID-POLISH APrLIEns.

Application 'filed December 13, 1927. Serial J1'o.'239,754.V

This invention relates to dauber pads for liquid polish appliers and more particularly to a device of this character which is adapted to be employed as a permanent adjunctl oi a tube oli-.container torthe polish.

An important objectoi the invention is to provide a construction of this character which may be very cheaply vand readily manuiactured and attached to the container, so that when the contents-of the container have become exhausted, it may be thrown away.

Aflurther object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which, while capable oi being very cheaply constructed, provides a construction such thatit is capable of ready operation to enable its use withL liquids of different consistencies and provides.

a construction such that a soit and neat polish applying dauber is provided.

VThese and other objects I attain by the construction shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein Vii'or .the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of `my;

drawing, the numeral 10 generally desigy nates the wall of a polish container and 11 the dauber pad applied thereto. This dauber ypad lin 'accordance with :myinvention comprises a central substantially Cylindrical core 1Q, which maybeofany suitable material, This core, where employed with liquid polish, has'preferably applied thereto at the outer end thereof a spreader 13, consisting of a diskwhich may be either integral with or attached to the tube and which has at its periphery openingsln. The disk is at present shownV as secured to the tube by bending Vtabs 13b formed thereon against the outer tace oi the tube. The tube is likewise preferably provided with outstanding tangs 14,' which may be disposed at any convenient point along the outer wall of the tube. Y

In combination with this core, I employ a strip of felt 15, which is of greater width than will not absorb it.

the length oi the core and which, at a point spaced from the'endof the strip a distance equal toor slightly greater thanthe circum- I ference of the core, is slit, as at 16, from one edge to a point adjacent to but slightly spaced from the opposite edge. I also provide a gauze padfl which may consist of a plurality of layers oi gauze, the number oi layers and the textureoi the gauze depending upon the polish with which the pad is to be employed. It the pad is to be employed with liquid polish, the gauze should be closely woven and a greater number of layers of 1v gauzeemployed than where the polishis `oi a thick creamy or pasty consistency.

AThe' felt pad 15 is appliedto the core in.

such manner that theunslit edge of the strip substantially coincides with the inner end of the vcylinder and is wound about the cylinderV The. gauze padv 17' is .then Y' applied and the binding of the felt continued.

to the split. 1,6.

The felt maybe held in its applied position either by stitching 18er any other suitable means..v In the present instance in Figure 1,

I'have shown the container 10 asprovidedupon the end thereof with `which the pad engages with tan'gs 19 engaging the exterior of the pad tohold the felt in position, while in Figure 3, stitching is employed for lthis purpose. Infsome instances, whereV the polish is unusually thin, the space provided Within thefelt binding between the gauze pad and the outer end ofthe core may befilled with gauze padding.A Y Y t n .i

The projection of the felt bindingbeyond the end oit the corepro'vides a cushion for the core, preventing.they same from .either injuring the surface'being treated orhurting the foot. Theconstructionk whereby a portion of this telt binding is'arranged ywithinl the gauze insures at least against this'portion of the felt flaring outwardly, .so that the cushioning {eiiect would bedestroyed and the core exposed. v l

I have found that inea dauber constructed in this manner, the polish will be transferredv fromthe container to the surfacefto which polish is being applied as fast as the Asurface ycan receive .the polish jby absorption, and yet will not feed liquid to a surface which For this reason, the dauber, when abutted by a metallic cover (not shown), will not pass the polish, and atV thesame time, will hold the polish ready for immediate application. Attention is directed to the fact that by slitting the felt strip as shown, a single felt strip is enabled to produce both the .inner and outer felt bindings' employed.

Since the construction hereinbefore set forth is capable of a certain range of change and modiiication Without materially depart ing from the spirit of the invention, I do not limit myself to such specific structureexcept as hereinafter claimed.

l. Inl a dauber for polish appliers, a tubu lar core, an inner felt binding surrounding said coreand having its edge projected beacross Ithe :mouth of -ithe tube thus provided and having itsy edges folded about said felt binding, an outer felt binding surrounding the edges of the gauze pad, and means for securing vthe end of said outer felt binding in position, the inner and outer felt bindings comprising a single strip slit intermediate its edges andata point from the inner end thereof a distance atleast equal to the circumferi ence yof the core.

Y 3. In a dauber for polishappliers, a tubular core, an inner felt binding surrounding said core landv having fits' edge projected beyond the outer end of the core, a gauze pad extending across the mouthof the tube thus provided and 'having its edges folded about said felt binding, an outer felt binding surrounding `theedges vof the gauze pad, and means for securing the endrofsaid outer felt binding in position7 the core being secured to the inner binding.

Il. In a dauber for polish appliers, a tubin lar core, an inner felt binding surrounding said core and having its edge projected beyond vthe outer `end of the core, a gauze pad extending across the mouth of the tube thus provided and having its edges folded about said felt binding, an outer felt binding surrounding the edges of the gauze pad, and means for securing the end of said outer felt binding in position, the inner and -outer feltbi`ndiiigs comprising a single stri slit inter-mediate its edges and yatv a point rom the inner endtliereof a distance atleast equal to the circuinferenceof the core, the core being secured to the inner binding;

core and having'its edge projected beyondV the outer end of the core, a gauze pad extend ing across the mouth of the tube thus provided'and having its edges folded about said felt binding, an outer felt binding surroundingtlie edges'of the gauze pad, and means for securing the end of said outer felt binding in positiointhe corehaving'tangs engaging said inner binding.
